Trial summary

In this study, in order to better understand the mechanism of troponin clearance and the reason for elevated troponin levels in patients with CKD, we aim to evaluate quantitatively the excretion of troponin in the urine in patients with and without CKD, and with and without myocardial injury.

About this study

In this study, in order to better understand the mechanism of troponin clearance and the reason for elevated troponin levels in patients with CKD, we aim to evaluate quantitatively the excretion of troponin in the urine in patients with and without CKD, and with and without myocardial injury. We will compare urinary troponin levels with blood troponin levels in these patients. In addition, we will compare the levels of hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI in the patients' sera and urine.

Read the detailed description

The study population will be screened at the internal wards, the nephrology ward and clinic, and the intensive cardiac care unit (ICCU) of Soroka Medical Center. It will include patients who suffer from AMI, patients with CKD with and without any cardiac disease and patients with no known renal or cardiac disease.

The following information and measurements will be collected:

Demographics - age, sex, weight, height. Past medical history - specifically regarding renal and cardiac diseases and procedures.

Measured variables in blood serum - troponin T, troponin I, creatinine, total protein, albumin, myoglobin Measured variables in urine - troponin T, troponin I, creatinine, total protein, albumin, microalbumin, β2-microglobulin Calculations - GFR (according to MDRD equation), troponin correction to creatinine (gr troponin per gr creatinine), troponin excretion ( ), urine albumin/creatinine ratio, urine protein/creatinine ratio.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Chronic Kidney Diseases and Acute Myocardial Infarction, run by Soroka University Medical Center at 1 site in Israel.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Israel. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Troponin T in blood vs. urine (time frame: 1 year). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04211610, which also lists 9 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jan 2024.
